Pittsburgh Steelers

Ben Roethlisberger
Big Ben had to sit and watch his team be captained by the likes of Devlin Hodges and Mason Rudolph in 2019 for over 14 games as he went out early in the year with a season ending elbow injury in week 2 against SEA...
...and the entire offense would suffer. In 2019 the Steelers actually had the ball 2 more times than in 2018 but scored 139 fewer points than with their starter. The efficiency took a massive hit the likes of which the Steelers hadn't seen since 2003đź”˝... https://twitter.com/willson8tor/status/1280948203743883264?s=19
...
He will not throw 675 times again as he did in 2018 but look for a big boost with Big Ben back.

The Running Game

James Conner
There has been talk of lightening Conners workload this off season as injury concerns continue for the young RB. When he is on the field, he has...
...shown to produce and PIT generally is a good producer of fantasy relevant RB weeks whether the starter is in or not.

Benny Snell
Snell was a huge producer in college but a lack of athleticism caused him to fall in the draft. Snell will likely fill in on 1st and 2nd down...
...when Conner gets rest.

Jaylen Samuels
Samuels has shown to be a PPR asset but is likely just a third down fill in with a healthy Conner.

Anthony McFarland
McFarland was drafted in the 4th round and was a highly efficient producer in college. He is one of just 40/310...
...drafted RBs since 2005 to average a 0.200 or higher Distance Traveled Adjustment (DT/a) in the RBPC model. He was third in the class behind only Jonathan Taylor and Raymond Calais. As you can see in image three, there is some good company here. The difference? (Image 4) the...

...most successful backs in this range handled much larger workloads and were on the field much more. He is on a good team to generate RB production but likely third in line for touches if Conner goes down at any point.

All three will be used to an extent.

The Receiving...
...Game

Juju Smith Schuster
Juju may have felt the biggest impact from the QB fall off in production. When looking at his Weighted Receiving production which takes TDs in into account similar to 1Ds, it was by faaaar his worst season across the board and produced half the...

...per target value as his first season. He won't likely see 160+ targets like 2018 but look for Juju to be more like Juju in 2020.

Deontea Johnson and James Washington

Who's gonna be the number 2 here is the question. Just to note, both receivers had quality age 23 seasons...
...
Since 1994, there have been just 59 age 23 seasons in which a receiver averaged

55%+ catch rate
3.75%+ TD rate
9+ y/t
And had 80+ targets

...you can see the list has some names we know very well in it. They both did this with very sub optimal QB play. I'd look for fairly...

...even target distribution but if one starts to shine, there is big time upside for 2 WRs in this offense as we saw in 2018

The Rest
Pittsburgh generally has a pretty consolidated target share. But they also are great at developing WRs and love a big fast guy. I wouldn't put...
...fantasy stock in Chase Claypool for year 1 but if his heads on straight, look for something in year 2 unless injury forces the hand.

Ryan Switzer, Anthony Johnson, Deon Cain, etcetera will need multiple injuries to factor in.

Tight End

Eric Ebron
2019 was a far cry from...
...the efficient scoring season Ebron put up with Andrew Luck in 2018. A dip was expected after Luck retired but Ebron saw his TD numbers plummet with Tyrod Taylor at QB. Big Ben may not get Ebron anywhere near 13 TDs again but has shown the ability to produce low end fantasy...
...relevant TEa like Heath Miller. Ebrons upside is far greater than that of Miller and should help make a potential back end TE1 with upside. Health is a concern. He played in 11 games in 2019.

Vance McDonald
McDonald set the world on fire in 2018 by trucking a defender on...
...one play and fantasy owners were hooked. Unfortunately... McDonald did score 3 TDs on just 38 receptions but saw his yard per reception cut nearly in half. Likely a lot to do with the QB play but the Steelers didn't feel strongly enough to give him a second go as TE1 on the...
...team. Ebron again though has health concerns and McDonald could be a factor if EE were to miss time. Ebron had played a full 16 games 2 straight years after not doing so his first 3 years. Last season he was placed on IR with ankle injuries.
